Beit el Ras in Zaarouriyeh is a place whose name means the house on the headland or the top, usually a viewpoint, an old house site or a rise above the village. In this part of the Chouf it functions as a nature and lookout stop: wind, roofs and the line of the hills. There may be little built interpretation, so the visit is the view and a short walk. Come in clear weather, wear sensible shoes and respect private houses nearby. Zaarouriyeh sits off the busier palace route, which keeps the stop quiet. It is a local geographic name worth recording accurately.
